Electronic cigarettes are generally very easy to use, making the transition from analogs almost seamless. However, in order to make the best of your device, it’s important that you know the basics of how e-cigarettes work, what they are composed of and how to use them to get the most out of your vaping experience. The internet is full of helpful tutorials and how-to articles for beginners, but to really take advantage of them, you must first learn the basic terminology. Words like “vaping”, “cartomizer” or “cigalike” don’t mean much to the average person, but they are commonly used terms in the e-cigarette world, and understanding their meaning could make the difference between an enjoyable, potentially life-saving e-cigarette experience and going back to smoking tobacco cigarettes.

We created this vaping terminology and abbreviations page to help ex-smokers and beginner e-cigarette users get acquainted with the most common words and expressions used within the vaping community and give them a head start on their journey to a smoke-free life.
